Contempt as Trump claims he can run for third term: This is what dictators do'
Briefly

Donald Trump has hinted at the possibility of running for a third presidential term, claiming there are 'methods' to do so, despite the constitutional prohibition of such a candidacy. His remarks have elicited both scorn and serious concern, particularly from political figures who view Trump's intentions as a constitutional threat. John Dean highlighted a possible maneuver some of Trump's supporters propose, involving a former president running for vice president. Critics, including the Democratic National Committee chair, label Trump's rhetoric as authoritarian, reinforcing fears that he could undermine democratic norms.
The biggest mistake of the last eight years is that we somehow failed to give credibility to Donald Trump's whims and impulses, but we know it's true, David Jolly, a former Republican member of Congress, told MSNBC.
If he says he's not ruling it out, then he's not ruling it out, and we should consider it a constitutional threat.
There are not plans. There are methods which you could do it, as you know. A lot of people want me to do it, Trump added.
This is what dictators do, said Ken Martin, the chair of the Democratic National Committee.
